The Family International[hereafter
referred to as TFI] is a New Age religious sex cult that is infamous
for incest, organized child porn, and other horrible sexual sins...

"Another infamous cult of the last forty years is the Family
International, formerly known as the Children of God. The man in the
middle of this cartoon, David Brandt Berg, founded the cult in the
1960s. Since its inception, the Family has been plagued by accusations
of sexual and physical abuse, organized pedophilia, child pornography,
incest, and prostitution. The cult denies this, but media distributed to
Family members clearly preach a very sexual relationship with God, and
an especially perverted relationship with children... the Family still
thrives today. Its official website claims over twelve thousand members
in over a hundred countries."

The group emphasizes
being united by error rather than being divided by truth as the Bible
commands in 2nd Corinthians 6:14-17.TFI promotes unbiblical
ecumenical unity between ALL religions1,
be they Christian or non-Christian. This is apostasy of the worst form!

Here's some brief background information on
this villainous cult...

The Children of God (COG), later known as the Family of Love,
the Family, and now the Family International (TFI), is a
Christian religious group, widely referred to as a cult by the media,
many in academia, and some former members, that started in 1968 in
Huntington Beach, California, United States. It was an off shoot of the
Jesus movementof the late 1960s, with many of
its early converts drawn from the hippie movement. It was among the
movements prompting the cult controversy of the 1970s and 1980s in the
United States and Europe and triggered the first organizedanticult group (FREECOG)

Evidently to escape the barrage of negative
newsmedia plaguing the cult because of continuous reports of sexual rape and
child molesting, they've changed their organization's name umpteen times. It
is sickening that they would dare even name the name of Jesus Christ; but
this is not spurring because 2nd Corinthians 11:13,14 warns us that Satan's
sinister ministers would come to as masquerading as ministers of
righteousness. Cult founder, David Berg, perished in 1994 into perdition and
is burning this moment in hellfire.

The Family International is
a Sicko SEX CULT

TFI is a front organization for a demonic
sex-cult...

Female bisexuality is sanctioned, though female homosexuality at the
complete exclusion of men is not permitted. They believe that God
created human sexuality, that it is a natural, emotional, and physical
need, and that heterosexual relations between consenting adults is a
pure and natural wonder of God's creation, and permissible according to
Scripture. Teenagers from the age of 16 are allowed to have sex with
other members under age 21. Since 1986, sex between minors and adults is
forbidden. Adult members may have sex with any other adult member of the
opposite sex, and are encouraged to do so, regardless of marital status,
as a way to foster unity and combat loneliness of those "in need". This
is commonly called "sharing" or "sacrificial sex". While TFI policy
states that members should not be pressured to have sex against their
will, numerous former members have alleged being coerced to "share" and
subsequently cast as selfish or unloving when they did not.

Truth is stranger than fiction. The Family
International is a sicko organization which exploits Christianity as a
means of committing fornication, exploiting children, and attempting to
justify other sexual sins. TFI is of
the Devil.

Group founder
David Bergis regarded within the group as the
most important prophet of the end times. He is regarded as a prophet in
that he passed on the message of God, not because he could predict the
future. Though he frequently attempted to predict future events, he was
for the most part inaccurate. The group believes Berg's spiritual
"mantle" passed to his wife,
Karen Zerby, at his death. The officially
published writings of both David Berg and Karen Zerby are regarded as
part of the "Word of God" which carries the same weight as the Holy
Bible since they are considered divine revelations.

The overwhelming amount of negative testimony
from former members of The Family cult, in addition to the preponderance of
mainstream news archives exposing their sexually-degenerated history cannot
be denied. Here is what the Encyclopedia Britannica has to say about the
group...

Berg led his followers to
free themselves from sexual inhibitions and taboos. For example, in a
practice called “flirty
fishing," he encouraged female members to use their feminine charms
while witnessing God’s love to lonely men, a tactic that often led to
sexual activity. He also encouraged sexual “sharing” among the adults in
The Family.

This sexual activity led to problems in the
early 1980s. Most significantly, herpes spread among Family members, and
pedophiles within the group preyed upon the children. In 1983 and over
the next several years, the group began to curtail this sexual activity.
Child protection rules were instituted, and in 1987 flirty fishing was
discontinued. The sharing of adult partners within the group continues
and remains The Family’s most distinctive and controversial practice.

There is NO repentance within
The Family International organizational; thus, there is NO salvation.
They not only continue to commit sin, but attempt to justify their sins by
perverting the Scriptures, which is clear evidence that they are unsaved
heathens who are exploiting Christianity. Although one does not have to
forsake sins to be saved, the Bible requires that we BECOME GUILTY BEFORE
GOD for our sins (Romans 3:19), which should bring about a change of nature
(2nd Corinthians 5:17) and a desire to live for God. Genuine born-again
Christians DON'T parade their sins, attempting to justify them, excuse them
and defend them. Genuine repentance is the acknowledgment that one has
sinned against God by violating the Law of God, and turning to Jesus Christ
to be forgiven. The Family International is a sin-loving organization
that doesn't know anything about repentance. Their professed faith in Christ
is fraudulent.

Unlike the deceitful spin on
the official homepage of The
Family International, xFamily.org
brings you honest, truthful, accurate, complete and contextual information
about The
Family cult—also known as The Children of God,
The Family International, The Family of Love,
The Family and various
pseudonyms; which now operates internationally as a collection of
charitable organizations under the umbrella of the FCF (Family
Care Foundation).

Cult name: The Children
of God (C.O.G.)/ The Family International

Founder: Moses David Berg, organized 1968

Overview: Don't be fooled by this one.
They've adopted a more clean-cut appearance. They even performed in the white
house in 1992. I was in a salon one day when a bunch of nice looking,
college-aged kids came in and said, "We're the Family and we'd like to sing a
song for you." They played the guitar, sang and passed out some coloring
sheets and solicited funds. It took all of about 1.5 minutes and they were out
the door. I didn't give them anything and thought that they might be C.O.G. I
recently got confirmation when I viewed a documentary on cults.

C.O.G. appealed to the hippie generation with its
message of "free" love and singing all in the name of Jesus. They are called
the original Jesus "freaks"

Cult Tenets/Characteristics:

Flirty fishing: Practice of religious
prostitution. Founder Berg bases it on Jesus' statement, "I will make you
fishers of men." He says that any means is acceptable to bring people into
"the kingdom of God"—including having sex with them.
